General Diploma
• Beginning with students who enter high school in 2007-2008,
completion of Core 40 becomes a graduation requirement.
• A general diploma is only available to students whose parents
feel students are unable to complete the Core 40 curriculum.
• To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal Opt-out process
must be completed.
• Beginning in fall 2011, Core 40 will be an admissions
requirement to attend a public four-year university in Indiana
(Core 40 is a minimum requirement – colleges may have
additional admissions requirements).
Core 40 Opt-Out Triggers
• A parent may request that a student be exempted from the
Core 40 curriculum and be required to complete the general
diploma to graduate, or
• The student does not pass at least three (3) courses required
under the Core 40 curriculum, or
• The student receives a score on the graduation examination
that is in the twenty-fifth percentile or lower when taking the
graduation exam for the first time.
***If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40, the student is
required to complete the course/credit requirements for a
general diploma and the career/academic sequence the
student will pursue is determined.
Core 40 Opt-Out Process
• The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the
student’s counselor meet to discuss the student’s
progress.
• The student’s career/course plan is reviewed.
• The student’s parent/guardian determines whether
the student will achieve greater educational benefits
by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40
curriculum.
• Opt-Out for signed by parent and student

New Offering..
Automation and Robotics: will be a project based course where students will
get hands on experience designing, building, and testing robots. Students will
gain skills to design and build basic robots that use sensors and actuators to
solve specific problems and complete specific tasks. This will include
introductory programming autonomous mode. Students will also learn to
program a robot, tethered and in autonomous mode, able to react to specific
circumstances and perform human-like tasks when programming is complete.
Students will have the opportunity to build robots ranging in size from six
inches to six feet that will be entered into robotics competitions to test their
design and fabrication skills. This course will provide fundamental knowledge
and skills in pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanics, basic electronics, and
programmable logic controllers along with an understanding of career
pathways in this sector.

Advanced Culinary Arts or Advanced Hospitality courses. Major topics include: introduction to the hospitality industry; food
safety and personal hygiene; sanitation and safety; regulations, procedures, and emergencies; basic culinary skills; culinary
math; and food preparation techniques and applications. Instruction and laboratory experiences will allow students to apply
principles of purchasing, storage, preparation, and service of food and food products; apply basic principles of sanitation and
safety in order to maintain safe and healthy food service and hospitality environments; use and maintain related tools and
equipment; and apply management principles in food service or hospitality operations. Intensive laboratory experiences
with commercial applications are a required component of this course of study. Student laboratory experiences may be
either school-based or "on-the-job" or a combination of the two. Work-based experiences in the food industry are strongly
encouraged. A standards-based plan guides the students’ laboratory experiences. Students are monitored in their laboratory
experiences by the Culinary Arts and Hospitality teacher. Articulation with postsecondary programs is encouraged. The
location of this course is at NDHS the first two periods of the day.
